True supply chain excellence is achieved by identifying the right core competencies for your company and understanding how those competencies can be aligned in a coherent supply chain strategy. How you can achieve this complicated and important task is the focus of CSCMP's "Strategic Supply Chain Management" workshop.
This intermediate-level course is valuable both for leaders in supply chain management and for those outside the supply chain (such as engineering, finance, sales, marketing, facilities, and manufacturing) who want to use their company's supply chain to achieve a competitive advantage.

A relatively new concept, "vested outsourcing" seeks to change how companies pay for third-party services. Instead of paying for the completion of activities (such as fulfilling an order), vested outsourcing focuses on paying providers for overall performance (delivering the full order on time to the customer at the correct location). Proponents of "vested outsourcing" say that it offers lower costs for the company, better margins for the provider, and improved service to the customer.
But is it right for your organization? Find out at the University of Tennessee's "Vested Outsourcing" Executive Education class. Learn how to apply a five-step process and best practices for implementing a performance-based outsourcing agreement. The course can also be tailored to a specific company's needs and presented onsite at that company's offices. The course is co-sponsored by CSCMP.
